on the streets Of New York helplesa!y
intoxicated
Plymouth church has extended a
call to Rev. Charles Berry, of VOL
vcrhampton, England, to fill the va
cancy caused by the death cf Rev
Henry Ward Beecher.
Chief Crowley, of San Francisco
has received a dispatch from Mazat-
Ian, Mexico, announcing that the fu-
gjtiye jury briber Creighton has
sailed under the name OF Richard
Cannon for Panama.
Northern Idaho Is very anxious to
be annexed to this tarritoIy and to be
admitted with Us into the union this
winter. The CRur IL Alene .Stn gives
twelve good and sufficient reasons
why this should be done.
Many logging camps along the
Sound are shutting down for the
winter on account OF the mud and
rain, but they will all start up again
in March. Six camps on the SUilla-
gUamish slut down last week.
Latest footings of the election re
turns in New York give Cook, demo
crat, less than 1000 plurality over
Grant, republican. This plurality J,
some hundreds less than that re
ceived by Gov. Hill in 1885.
The Henry George vote in New
York city is 10000 against GS,OOO last
year. The Irving Hall Democrats
voted last year for him, while this
year they voted with their party. He
bad the opposition at the election Of
the Irish World, which claims that
his defeat is due to the detection of
the Irish vote, on account of Georges
attitude toward the Pope in the
Nc Glynn case
De Lesseps in q letter to Premier
Rouyier asking authority to raise Il
loan for the Panama canal by issu-
ing lottery bonds, states that he is
negotiating with an engineer for the
purpose OF insuring the digging of
the passage across the istbmus suifi-
cient for n traffic of 100000 tons
yearly, reserving the completion OF
the work for the future rs in the
case OF the Suez canal. He says the
funds for completing the work will
be derived from annual profits. d.
The statement is published in New
York that the heads of the police de-
parIment decided that hereafter the
anarchists will not be allowed to
meet and that the carrying OF any
banner or badges or playing of any
music, should they undertake to par
adc, will not be permitted. Herr
Most declares that the published
statements as to the terror of his re-
marks at the anarchists meeting on
Saturday night, do HIM great injus-
tice.
1t is really pleasure for person
having half an hours time TO walk
through the immense establishment
of our town firm, Messrs. Waterman
" katz. Their store is perfectly
crowded with goods of all kinds and
description, and every little space of
room seems to be utilized by having
stacks of goods piled on it. Their
stock is, without doubt, the largest
and most complete on tue Sound.
We notice an immense line of HOli-
day Goods just opening, which are
elegant and new III design and as far
as we can judge, almost any one can
get suited.
The journalistic world will note
with the same SORT of feeling that
children witness the departure of a
circus, that George Francis Train.
whilom editor of the Tacoma Ledger,
is abont to join the America Cana
dian colony George says he can
not live IN country where free
speech Is denied, and therefore will
emigrate 1t will be interesting to
note the rcsnit of his addition to the
inhabitants of Her Majesty's pro-
yinces, and the feeling comments of
his associates of the Ledger staff,
when George shal! be thrust into
jail or a mad-house for shooting
off his mouth" too freely.
Senator John ST erman addressed
the republicans of Youngstown, Ohio,
recently, and among other things
said: Three months ago there was
no disposition on the part of the re
publIcans to revive the war issue, or
TO stir animosity between tho north
and south. The recent celebration in
tho south and glorifcation of jeff
Davis, with the speech made by
jackson at Macon, Ga, have com
pelied republicans to face issues that
with their consent would never again
be brought to the surface. The
bringing of Gen. Gordon into the
Ohio canvas was bad political move
on the part of the democratic mana-
gers"
A journal of the lumber trade, pub
lished at Minneapolis, speaks of the
appearance of increasing quantities
of lumber from the Pacific coast in
markets hitherto supplied from the
| plneries of the northern Mississippi
and lake regions. The competition,
1t says, is producing some unusual
conditions and results. II is most
noticeable IN regard TO long timbers-
With surprise it is observed that the
racine coast dealer Is ready to sell
long tinbers for even less than short
ones, and that his logs run more to
clear than to common lumber. The
papers adds: This unusual cOndi-
ton Of affairs can be got around by
using clear lumber where common
would do, but this fact will be an ele-
went to be considered in the field of
Tompetition. If all reports are true
the mill men out that way have
omething to learn in the matter of
manufacturing lumber economically
but this will come when it is neces-
sary to cut lumber cheaply"
A San Francisco shipping merchant
recently said: Some of our ships
will go to the bottom yet, solely be-
cause they are overloaded. 1t is no
use talking about loss of life; That is
nothing, as long as the ship and car
